CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Veterans Memorial and #25 Carroll have been touted as the softball teams to beat in District 29-5A and if their first place showdown Tuesday is any indication, that's certainly the case.
Vets scored three runs in the 12th inning to top the state-ranked Tigers 6-3 at Cabaniss Field. Parker Malone delivered a clutch two-run single to help give the Eagles sole possession of first place in the South Zone at 4-0. Carroll drops to 3-1 with the rematch between the two set for April 12th.
Carroll baseball overcame an early three-run deficit to top Flour Bluff 8-4 at Whataburger Field. Christian Hernandez gave up a three-spot in the first inning before settling down on the mound and allowing his offense to rally. The Tigers go to 1-0 in the South Zone while Flour Bluff drops to 1-2. The teams play again Thursday at Flour Bluff.
